Signs of a world power?
The pathetic nature of the United States' diplomatic prowess manifested itself again, this time in the United Nations, where Washington was trounced 170-4, with 3 abstentions.
The vote was on a new UN Human Rights Council that would replace the discredited UN Human Rights Commission.
Belarus, Iran and Venezuela abstained.
Not even our closest NATO allies stood with us on this one, even though many shared the United States' misgivings that the new body would ultimately mock itself.
The only UN member states that voted with us: Israel, Marshall Islanda and Palau.
Shame on the rest of the world. And shame on us for letting the vote get out of control.
